NAIROBI, Kenya, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Nobel Prize-winning economist has confirmed \u2018learning gains among the largest ever measured\u2019 in schools by any major study in emerging markets.<\/p>\n

The study, led by Professor Michael Kremer<\/u><\/a>, 2019 Nobel Prize winner, finds children living in underserved communities receive over 53% more learning in NewGlobe<\/u><\/a> supported schools throughout their early childhood and primary education compared to students in other schools.<\/p>\n

The findings were announced by Professor Kremer at the Education World Forum<\/u><\/a> and suggest a potential solution to learning poverty<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Replicated across public education systems, the gains would put African children from underserved communities on track to outperform or match peers in countries with incomes four times higher.<\/p>\n

The groundbreaking study finds children taught using New Globe\u2019s methods<\/u><\/a> are three times more likely to be able to read at age seven. The World Bank estimates 90% of 10 year olds in Africa<\/u><\/a> can\u2019t read.<\/p>\n

The most disadvantaged students gain the most. Girls make the same learning leap as boys.<\/p>\n

NewGlobe delivers a standard deviation increase of 1.35 in pre-primary learning and 0.81 in primary learning, easily in the top 1% of learning gains ever rigorously studied at scale in emerging markets.<\/p>\n

The results are an affirmation of NewGlobe\u2019s integrated learning system – used by governments across Africa and South Asia to support a million students today and growing year-on-year.<\/p>\n
